Star & Ring

 

Several years ago this quilt in all-over pattern 
appeared in an online auction.


BlockBase & my Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns show a lot of 5-pointed star designs but not this one, which doesn't fit in a block.


So I drew it up in Electric Quilt 8.
Might be best pieced over papers???
Print this out on an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet.

I found it in a 1941 issue of Women's Day's pamphlet This is Patchwork as Star & Ring:

 I am adding it to my Encyclopedia as a new number 424.9
Star & Ring. Women's Day, 1949 1941.
 
Here's another auction quilt that's not in BlockBase.
I'm not drawing this one up.
At least not today.
